10727. 'And Moses gathered together all the assembly of the children of Israel' means all of the Church's truths and forms of good in their entirety. This is clear from the meaning of 'the assembly of the children of Israel' as all of the Church's truths and forms of good in their entirety, dealt with in 7830, 7843, so that 'gathering together that assembly' means the enumeration of them all. For the verses that follow enumerate all the materials which the children of Israel brought to make the tabernacle and everything in it, also the altar of burnt offering, and the garments of Aaron and his sons as well, and by these materials every kind of goodness and truth that composes the Church is meant.
